Dayton Schurr

The Scots have again dipped into the Florida pool for an offensive skills coach. Schurr follows quarterbacks’ coach E.J. White into Illinois, after growing up on Florida’s Gulf Coast, joining the Scots staff in 2019.
 
His work with the Scots’ wide receivers brought diversity in his first season to the passing game when 11 different players caught passes and three players produced touchdowns. Six players recorded 10 catches or more in 2019.

A lifelong surfer growing up near the ocean, Schurr is trading his surfboard for a snowboard while coaching in the Midwest.
